List of plants in my yard
Delosperma ‘Jewel of Desert Peridott’
Ice Plant
Feather Reed Grass 'Karl Foerster'
Calamagrostis acutiflora
Cut clumps to the ground in late winter just before the new shoots appear.
Russian Sage 'Little Spire'
Perovskia atriplicifolia
Cut back plants almost to the ground in early spring before new growth begins.
Purple Coneflower
Echinacea prpureua 'Prairie Splendor'
Cut down the coneflowers to soil level after they stop blooming and wither or after a frost.
PowWow Wild Berry Coneflower
Echinacea prpureua 'PowWow Wild Berry'
Cut down the coneflowers to soil level after they stop blooming and wither or after a frost.
'Silver Mist' Variegated Mondo Grass
Ophiopogon japonicus
Rainforest Sunrise Plantain Lily
Hosta 'Rainforest Sunrise'
Cut back in Fall or early Spring
Heuchera 'Sugar Plum' Coral Bells
Cut back in late Fall. Divide clumps every 2 to 3 years in early spring.
Blue Fescue
Festuca glauca 'Elijah Blue'
Divide clumps every 2-3 years. Cut back foliage in early spring to 3-4" to tidy clumps.
Bressingham Blue Plantain Lily
Hosta 'Bressingham Blue'
Cut back any time Fall to mid Spring
Brunnera 'Silver Heart'
Heartleaf Alkanet
Prune and divide in early Spring
River Birch - 5 stem
Prune healthy trees during their dormant season, which is late summer to early winter. While the tree is young, leave lower branches on the trunk to nourish the tree and shade the trunk.
Hydrangea arborescens 'Annabelle'
Plants may die to the ground in harsh winters. Bloom occurs on new wood, so plants may be pruned back close to the ground in late winter to revitalize and to encourage vigorous stem growth and best form. If not pruned back, any weakened and/or damaged stems should be removed in early spring.
Hibiscus moscheutos 'Luna Red'
Cut back old hibiscus stems to about about 3 feet tall just before winter. The stems generally will die back over the cold season. Prune the old stems to the ground in spring to make way for new growth shoots
Hardy Pampas Grass

Cut back to 4-6" every winter for new fresh look
